I assume this ist still .ps to .pdf/ .jpg?

Then I would use
convert -density 150 foo.ps foo.jpg (or foo.pdf)
                            ^ fiddle with this no for quality of output
I find converting to pdf this way needs higher -density for same quality
output then going for jpg. Advantage (or disadvantage ;-) )of converting
to pdf is that it keeps the document structure intact for multi page
files. And
convert -density 150 *.ps output.pdf
will convert all ps files in directory to one pdf file, effectively
merging them.
Though if converting to image, I would prefer png, especially if it
needs further processing, due to it being lossless.
